I told the Trib food guy that he ought to be very excited. NRN had it just right--Smashburger is a great concept and, at least here in Denver, it makes a damn fine cheeseburger. The trick now, though, will be to keep the same kind of quality I experienced back when I wrote about the first Smashburger in 2007, and extend it across the entire country.

No small trick, that. And here's to hoping that Smashburger is up to the task.
